My top reads of 2018

GoodReads tells me I read over 40 books during 2018. Granted, only 16 of them were novels, the rest were graphic novels. But hey, if GoodReads says they’re books, then I’ll take it!

My reading journey through the year was quite a ride. I fought zombies, discovered the quantum multiverse, travelled to Alpha Centauri, then Hogwarts, returned to Middle Earth, hung out with Bear Grylls. I also found out why grizzly bears should wear underpants, and through all of that, I learnt how to focus more.

In this article, I’ll run through my top reads for the year, and end off with my favourites.

Noteworthy

Harry Potter Series –J.K. RowlingHaving never read the Harry Potter books, I thought I’d give it a go this year. They were ok. Nothing too inspiring. I only read the first 3 books in the series. I got bored and moved on. Each book seemed like much the same to me.

Behold the Man – Michael MoorcockA book from the 70’s that was recommended to me by a friend. It was an interesting read about a man who travels back in time to find Jesus Christ, but everything is not as it should be.

Mud, Sweat and Tears – Bear GryllsSo inspirational. I read this book right at the beginning of the year and it continues to inspire me. The man is just so down to earth and has an insane amount of grit and determination
